GROW YOUR HAIR LONG WITH DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE 2008 - PART 2

Can you still be on the challenge if you deep condition for less than an hour? I found my staple DC ( MOP Extreme Moisture mixed w/ orchid complex, shealoe, castor oil, SAA, Coconut Oil and Hibiscus), but it makes my hair mushy if I moisturize for too long.

Hmmm bravenewgirl, it seem like you may need a protein treatment. You could still add a protein treatment for 20 minutes before your DC sessions once a week to two weeks as long as it's a mild protein treatment, like Aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructor, okay? Reducing your DC-ing time does not help as much as adding a mild protein to restore the strength of your hair's cuticle bonds.
 
I will be needing some protein treatment tomorrow so I will DC using some Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor tomorrow I believe. The co-wash challenge and this one has my hair extremely soft so now it's time to add some protein to my hair. No baggying for me tonight.
 
Sitting here under my soft bonnet dryer with a ROLLER SET!!! Haven't done this since 2007! I'm getting off the lazy wagon and laying off the direct heat for a while. Going to give it another try since I'm going to be washing my hair more often (I'm in heat rehab - which I keep going awol from). I did a DC today on dry hair for a little more than 30 mins with a mix of Coconut Oil, Nexxus Humectress, and Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner. When I washed I noticed my hair was SUPER soft (I already washed and DC'd the day before - I did a hard core protein treatment with Emergencee followed by Giovanni Smooth as Silk conditioner which leaves my hair:spinning::yawn::yawn::lick::spinning:). I did a quick rinse with Giovani Smooth as Silk Shampoo (non sulfate), and a quick condish with HE LTR and Organix Vanilla Silk Condish... Did those last two for scent and slip.

My hair's very happy although I think I don't need to DC any longer than 20-30 mins or so, my hair is really moisturized so I don't even use or need a moisturizer anymore... I do and will however DC 2x a week as I normally do, and maybe add a third or a cowash if needed. I'll post a pic of the roller set later if I remember or if I don't fall asleep, lol.:grin:

how do you use the emergencee? i bought some yesterday but i have only had it once and that was technically "emergencia" at the dominican salon. i know it must be followed with a moisturizing DC, so how long do you leave each one on? TIA :drunk:
 
I am DC'ing overnight with Queen Helene Cholesterol, Doo Gro Deep Down Intense, honey and JBCO. Just did my first henna gloss followed by indigo. Tomorrow I will rollerset after rinsing out the DC.

Well I just put it on after I wash (usually I'll clarify first to remove all build up so the protein can fully penetrate my hair - I read somewhere that was best - and follow with Porosity Control). I put on the Emergencee after lightly towel drying my hair a bit, spread it from root to tip in sections, then apply a little extra on my ends. I then put on a shower cap and sit under my soft bonnet dryer for about 20 mins, after I take off the cap for a while to let it cool off, then hop in the shower. The instructions say to wash your hair with Therappe afterwards, which I do or with my other fav poo All Ways Natural Moisturzing Shampoo. Afterwards I follow with my moisturizing DC conditioner for whatever time I choose to DC, which is usually @ 20 mins (sometimes 30 if I'm really patient). I do this 2x a month since I use heat (flat iron) and I DC often.
 
I did a caramel treatment last night. It made my hair feel so strong and moist. I plan on doing another treatment in a few days mixing protein and moisture because I plan on getting hilights and I want to build up my hair before I break it down with permanent color.
 
I DC'd this morning with Jehan's pre-poo oil and ORS Hair Mayonnaise. I let it sit on for 3 hours (no heat, just plastic cap). Washed it out with some Ovation Cell Therapy and conditioned with Redken All-Soft. I got some of the best curls I've gotten in a while today. :drunk:
 
i've just dc'd on dry hair 4 one hour. i used elvive antibreakage, thermasilk, and smooth'n shine critical repair mix'd
 
Okay this morning I pre-pooed with my ayurveda co-wash recipe in my fotki for 1 hour, rinsed well then added a protein treatment blend of 1 egg yolk, a drop of infusium 23 conditioner, olive oil, vitamin E oil, a few drops of peppermint essential oil, and a little bit of Mizani Kerafuse treatment for 20 minutes. My hair felt a little stronger, thankfully.

Then I clarified my hair then added my DC blend of Africa's Best Organics hair Mayo, Kenra MC, a dash of honey quat and some coconut oil to my hair and DCing for 1 hour and 15 minutes with heat. I always DC longer on days I use a protein treatment on my hair. I'll update when it's finished.

ETA: Okay my hair turned out delish....again!

Gym, is the alter ego energizing treatment a moisturizing treatment? How does it make your hair feel? Is it very soft?

Yes Aggie Yes! :yay: My hair is super soft. When I was rinsing the conditioner out I was just amazed. I can't wait to try the garlic one now. I have that too. I already know that I will have to repurchase the energizing one in the biggest size I can find. You don't need much at all which is great because you know alter ego can get pricey. I can't wait until I wash again so I can use it again. As soon as my hair was dry, I was online looking up other alter ego products. I think I will try a shampoo next.

Thank you. I ordered their sample pack, can't wait for it to be shipped. I was listening to the couple that make the products on the podcast, they sound like a cute couple.:grin:
 
Well I couldn't wait until the 31st to relax, my hair was looking a mess so I relaxed on Thursday, which ended my stretch at 10 wks post (I normally only go 8). When I relaxed I did a mid protein treatment with Motions CPR and DC'd with Sedal ceramidas for 30 min, and then KeraCare Humecto overnight. When I was done my hair was lacking the luster it normally has after a relaxer and felt a bit brittle, but I think that was because I forgot to add the EVOO to the relaxer. Any way, Saturday night I DC'd again using my Nacidit Olive Oil concoction, I went to Whole Foods and brought some Aloe Vera Gel so I added that to it along with some Jojoba oil :lick::lick::lick:, my hair was very happy afterward . Now my hair is back on track, I'm definitely going to stick with my Nacidit mix, my hair is lovin it.
 
Im getting my hair braided on Tuesday(hopefully) just some simple cornrows w/extensions and i would like to continue on this challenge. Any ladies with braids? If so whats your regi???
